Cooking at Schaefer's

I love working with Shaefer's. Last weekend I made homemade mini burgers in their Jenn-Air kitchen. I used the Kitchen Aid Mixer with its various attachments to grind the meat, mix in the seasonings, and knead the dough for the buns. I programmed the oven to let the buns rise. When it came time to bake the buns, the heat came on so quickly that I was able to leave them in the oven the entire time.

I'll be cooking every Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. at Schaefer's, 4700 R Street in Lincoln.  Stop by and watch me cook, and be sure to try a sample.  See you there!

Judy ala Carte: Cooking Demos Every Saturday and Sunday at Schaefer's

I'm so excited to be sharing my love of cooking with you every Saturday and Sunday at Schaefer's at 48th and R Streets in Lincoln. I'm really enjoying learning all about the different kitchens at Schaefer's.

This Saturday and Sunday, September 25 and 26, I'll be cooking up mini burgers in their Jen Air kitchen from noon to 4 p.m. both days.

These aren't your ordinary burgers. I'll be making homemade mini hamburger buns, grinding the meat and making the burgers. Stop by to learn how to make truly homemade burgers and sample one for yourself. Sample burgers should be ready about 1 p.m.

I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

Father's Day Cooking Demo at Schaefer's

I had so much fun cooking at Schaefer's on the Saturday before Father's Day. I appreciate everyone who came. There were lots of new faces, which is always exciting.

We used the Wolf Kitchen, one of the great demo kitchens they have at Schaefer's, and we cooked up a special meal especially for Father's Day (although it would be great any time).

This time we did things a little differently. Instead of doing all the prep work in advance, I did the majority of prep work during the demo. The audience appreciated the opportunity to see exactly how it's done, and yes, we really were able to prepare the entire meal in less than two hours.

The Menu:
Grilled Romaine Lettuce
Grilled Flat Iron Steak

Pork Tenderloin Rubbed and  Grilled
Red Stag Bourbon Baked Beans
Waldorf Salad with Cranberries
Dinner Rolls
Peach Cobbler

Each of the recipes are posted separately on the blog.

The next demo at Schafer's will be July 10, in conjunction with their Christmas in July sale.  I hope you can join me.
